However, this does not worry us. We
regard our action from strictly business

What we are after is a greatly increased
circulation. Not one half the people liy-

never will take it till, in some way, they
learn how valuable paper it really is,

scrber, and to pay them for their trouble
by giving them 50 boo for 30 cents
